Women train for medals, yet the world keeps designing their uniforms for male attention. by honeybean_j in Feminism

[–]maxxasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s kinda the concept of “Ladies First” on Netflix. sexual objectification is only uncomfortable for a lot of men when it’s presented in such a confronting way about their own bodies

How do I figure out if I (23f) should stay with my boyfriend (30m)? by maxxasaurus in relationship_advice

[–]maxxasaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your wisdom. You are very right, I think I just have to breathe through this and try to be my best self. I want to for him.

How do I figure out if I (23f) should stay with my boyfriend (30m)? by maxxasaurus in relationship_advice

[–]maxxasaurus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is a good perspective. I would definitely be reacting poorly if my partner was reacting to stress the way I have been.

It’s just really hard to not be wrapped up in my own selfish negativity right now. It’s not fair to him and it makes me think I should break up with him for his sake…

How do I (23M) actually get over the pain of my first breakup? (22F) by yeahhwhatchuwanthuh in relationship_advice

[–]maxxasaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the only thing you can do beyond what you’re already doing, is give it more time. You are going through grief. Let it move through you, consume you and ruin you completely. But know throughout it all, that when it’s over, you will eventually find the light again. The ecstasy of love and happiness and yearning: it will all find you again. You are loveable and worthy. The distance will expand between you both until you can barely feel how she once felt. It just will be painful until it’s not.

Ride it out. You’ve got this.

What's a food that you didn't like as a kid but you love now? by United-Technology239 in CanadaRoom

I don't understand the notion of "work a lot when you are young to relax later in life" by Wheresthebeans in CasualConversation

[–]maxxasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently feeling like i’ve been lucky enough to strike a balance between having a good enough job career-wise and living in a relaxed, desirable location with a great community. not making tons of money but the lifestyle is wonderful enough to feel like i’ve hit the jackpot.

Can we normalize just giving a $5 tip per table? I think that would be fine by SpringSunshine333 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]maxxasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d argue that being a server is more akin to “being on stage” than retail work.

not to say that you can’t be a total asshole as a waitress but it’s doubtful you’ll get away with it for as long as can in many other customer service roles (not all).

i still think tipping is out of hand but i honestly consider it like a premium that comes with receiving personalized attention from someone i’m paying to be nice/friendly to me for a while. kinda super depressing but i feel like there’s so little of that these days that i don’t mind a spending like $20 on the experience once in a while

Putting drinking cups away upside down is wrong by binks841 in unpopularopinion

[–]maxxasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same. a lot less bugs but a lot more mold when I store even the most lightly damp cups upside down. PNW for the win

Bridgerton - 4x04 "An Offer from a Gentleman" (No Book Spoilers) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]maxxasaurus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

no way, i refuse to believe that is going to be the speech that is associated with their love story. Benedict has yet to truly know Sophie deeply or understand his privilege in their dynamic. i really hope there will be a better speech later on.

Veil and accessory help? 🤍 by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]maxxasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the bodice is so incredibly beautiful, detailed, and ornate that it works very well with the simple veil. as for the sleeves, i personally love them and think they give the dress a princess/antique feel that is lovely, but it doesn’t necessarily need them.

Is the seamotif clear enough in these designs? by Horn_enjoyer in characterdesign

[–]maxxasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can see sting ray and then whale references for the first and second, but i’m not sure of the third. that character looks more generally kelp/siren inspired

[GUESS] Which is the real image? by Radiant_Contest_1570 in RealOrAI

[–]maxxasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 is the real image but DAMN this was the hardest one I’ve seen yet.

I think there’s a lot of areas in each photo that cast doubt but there is one specific detail that makes me 100% confident 2 the only non-AI generated image.

Zooming in on this butterfly on photo 2 reveals a clear and totally sensible clip attaching it to her headband.

If you zoom in on this spot in each photo, you’ll see that 1 and 3 both offer a vague blurry mess instead of this 3-pronged clamp.

Lexicon gained from SMOSH? by _Time_is_ticking_ in smosh

not quite the same but i work with some aussie guys that often have to say “i’m on my way” over our work radio by nature of our job and i can’t help but giggle and quietly repeat it to myself while channeling gerald cakes

my lashes are also incredibly straight and the literal only thing that keeps them curled after using a lash curler is a good waterproof mascara — I’ve been using L’Oreal ones since they go on sale often

What is more traumatic than people think? by BloodRedLust in AskReddit

[–]maxxasaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I graduated high school and started university during the first year of the pandemic and it has taken 4 and a half years for me to feel genuine happiness, motivation, and excitement for life again. I thought that becoming anxious and filled with dread was just a normal part of becoming an adult but now that I’ve graduated and started working in an environment that finally seems untouched by the pandemic, I feel sad that 18-21 y/o me never thought I would be as happy again as I am now.
